Text Chapter 2 Pu Shi
In the early morning of the next day, the fight was held in a square in Feixianmen.
The cultivators didn't pay attention to pomp, so there was no heavy ceremony, but the Flying Immortal Sect Elder He Tai briefly introduced the rules and the elder Qi who judged the victory and defeat, a long-bearded elder, and the battle began.
The order of the disciples is freely determined by the sect, and the Guanyu Pavilion is randomly arranged by Elder Xie on this side, and the Flying Immortal Gate is not yet known, but it should be about the same when you think about it, after all, it is really meaningless to dwell on this.
There are a total of twenty disciples in Guanyu Pavilion, Yu Qing is the eleventh to play, and Xu Jianyu, perhaps because she is the only woman here, was ranked last.
The first person to play in Guanyu Pavilion was Lin Yuan, Yu Qing was not too familiar with him, but he also knew this person, he was polite and polite on weekdays, and his temper and personality were extremely gentle, giving people a good impression.
Lin Yuan walked to the competition table in the center of the crowd, jumped slightly, and landed firmly on the stage. At the same time, a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect also jumped to the opposite side of Lin Yuan.
"Guan Xing, a disciple of Xia Fei Xianmen, please give me advice. The disciple held his sword in front of him in both hands and said loudly.
"Lin Yuan, a disciple of Guanyu Pavilion, I hope that my senior brother will show mercy. Lin Yuan also saluted.
Elder He then announced the start of the competition.
"Uhhh
"Uhhh
As soon as Elder He's words fell, the swords of the two were unsheathed almost at the same time, and the people were still in place, but the swords flew towards each other at an extremely fast speed.
In the center of the two of them, the two swords met and collided in an instant, and brilliant and bright spiritual power spurted out at the intersection of the blades, like splashes on the surface of the water that had been thrown into the stone, reflecting the moonlight.
At the same time, the figures of the two disappeared from the spot, and the next moment they appeared in the center of the test table, each holding his own sword. Then, the two of them pulled back some distance at the same time.
Fang Cai's blow was just a test between the two sides, at this moment, they both knew the strength shown by the other party, and the next step was the real battle.
On the sword that Lin Yuan was holding diagonally, the spiritual power continued to be swallowed like flames, but the color was not fiery red, but bright white. The figure trembled slightly, and the person had disappeared in place, and the spiritual power remaining in the air showed that he was rushing towards Guan Xing, a disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect.
Sure enough, in front of Guan Xing's body, a spiritual shield three or four feet tall appeared out of thin air, and the shield was outlined by incomparably complex lines, like a formation, and in fact, in addition to defense, this spiritual power shield also had other functions.
The shield was not created out of thin air, but was drawn accurately by Guan Xing in that instant!
The speed of the cultivator is indeed terrifying!
Lin Yuan's figure appeared in front of the shield, he stabbed straight forward with a sword, the tip of the sword touched the shield, and he only froze for half a blink of an eye, and then he saw that the lines outlining the shield were broken one by one.
Although the lines are broken, the shield is still broken. So Lin Yuan's left hand rested against the back of the hilt of the sword, increasing his strength.
Between the tip of the sword and the shield, wisps of spiritual power flew in all directions, showing the power they were bearing at this moment.
Finally, after a stalemate for a while, the spiritual shield finally couldn't hold it anymore and broke into countless pieces.
"Poof!" The shield was destroyed, and Guan Xing was also implicated, and while his body retreated, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
And Lin Yuan, who could have continued to advance against the shield fragments, withdrew his sword and quickly retreated, and even turned pale suddenly because he suddenly withdrew his strength.
When Guan Xing flew back, he grabbed a handful in the air with his left hand, and then saw that the pieces of fragments that were originally flying around actually stopped at this time, and then changed to shoot towards Lin Yuan.
In the face of the debris in the sky, Lin Yuan had no time to make other precautions, so he could only swing the sword in his hand and block them one by one.
However, there were so many fragments that he was able to miss.
"Senior Brother Lin lost. Yu Qing looked at the competition on the stage and said.
"Ah, just lost?" Xu Jianyu said regretfully.
"The contest of the monks is often very fast. Yu Qing said, "Moreover, this Guan Xing is too fast." ”
Yes, too fast.
Although Lin Yuan took the sword first, he was still slower than Guan Xing, and it could even be said that Lin Yuan's preemption was deliberately given to him by Guan Xing.
Because the moment Lin Yuan's sword stabbed forward, Guan Xing had already seen his offensive clearly, and with lightning speed, he drew the shield of defense and attack. In such a short period of time, with the help of the previous mutual temptation, he already knew that Lin Yuan's blow would break his shield, but he would not be able to resist the next attack.
Cultivators are fast, but to judge the situation and draw a shield in such a short period of time, ordinary cultivators cannot achieve it.
Therefore, Lin Yuan lost.
When those fragments were about to touch Lin Yuan's body, Elder Qi, who had been outside the field, came to Lin Yuan's side at some point, so those fragments stopped one after another, and then scattered in the sky and earth one by one.
"In this competition, Guan Xingsheng won. Elder Qi announced to the crowd outside the competition platform.
Lin Yuan stepped down with a pale face and walked towards the place where the disciples of the Guanyu Pavilion were.
The disciple was ashamed. Lin Yuan bowed his head to Elder Xie and said.
Elder Xie waved his hand: "It's okay, a competition is nothing, as long as your Dao heart will not be dusty, it will be beneficial and harmless to you." ”
"Senior Brother Lin doesn't have to blame himself. When Lin Yuan left Elder Xie and walked to Yu Qing's side, Yu Qing said, "If you do it again, then Guan Xing will still win." ”
It means that Guan Xing's strength is indeed higher than Lin Yuan's, and this defeat was not caused by Lin Yuan's carelessness or other subjective factors, but because of the gap in objective strength, so it is natural for Lin Yuan to lose.
Lin Yuan naturally understood the meaning of the words, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Senior Brother Yu." ”
The etiquette in the Guanyu Pavilion is not very strict, and it can even be said to be loose, often between two disciples, as long as there is no big difference in entry time and age, they all call each other senior brothers.
After a short period of time, the second competition is about to begin, and the Guanyu Pavilion is Kong Zhengcai, and the opponent is Wu Mao.
Kong Zhengcai's secular family is a scholarly family, and his ancestors are all learned Confucians. Kong Zhengcai inherited his family's tradition, a scholar and a certain person, so his weapon is not a sword, but a pen.
Kong Zhengcai's specialty is writing runes and drawing arrays.
At the beginning of the competition, Kong Zhengcai's pen drew lines of spiritual power as if it were alive, so one formation after another appeared one after another, forcing the opponent off the stage alive.
Naturally, Kong Zhengcai won.
In fact, if Kong Zhengcai plays against Guan Xing, it is really difficult to say whether he will win or lose, after all, the speed that Guan Xing is proud of has completely lost his advantage in front of the Fu Array.
In the third game, it was still the victory of Guanyu Pavilion;
In the fourth game, Feixianmen won;
In the fifth game, Guanyu Pavilion won......
Before you know it, ten games have passed, and Guanyu Pavilion has won seven games!
It's the eleventh game, and it's time for Yu Qing to play.
"Seeing you play, there should be no suspense. Xu Jianyu smiled briskly.
"That's nature, who is called a talent excellence?" Yu Qing said and stepped forward, and when he passed Elder Xie, the elder also nodded at him.
With a slight jump, Yu Qing went to the test table.
"Yu Qing, a disciple of the Xiaguan Rain Pavilion, please ask the senior brother for advice. Yu Qing carried the long sword on his back, clenched his fists and bent down in salute.
"Flying Immortal Sect disciple Pu Shi, please give advice. The person on the other side said the same.
Pu Shi's face is resolute, without any youthful youth, he only feels his temperament, but he looks like a middle-aged person. The important thing is that his skills are solid – so solid that you can tell at a glance that he is solid. This kind of person does not focus on one aspect of cultivation for the sake of combat strength, he has solid basic skills in all aspects, although the result of this is that he has no special advantages, but in the same way, he has no obvious weaknesses.
And like Lin Yuan, Guan Xing, and Kong Zhengcai, although they have their own strong side, they also have their own weaknesses. Lin Yuan is good at breaking through everything with his strength, but his own defense is not good; Guan Xing is extremely fast, but he is slightly lacking in attack; Kong Zhengcai, the young generation has few enemies in the Fu Formation, but in a real battle, it is difficult for him to kill a person.
As for Yu Qing himself, he is very strong, and it can even be said that there are few opponents among his peers, but he also has obvious weaknesses......
If the opponent is replaced by someone else this time, this weakness may not have a chance to be revealed...... Similarly, if Pu Shi was replaced by other disciples with strength such as Yu Qing as his opponent, then he might definitely be defeated.
There just isn't an if.
With Elder He's order, the competition finally began.
Yu Qing pulled out his sword from behind his back, but he was not in a hurry to attack the enemy.
He wants to ensure that he defeats his opponent in the shortest possible time, so he has to wait for an opportunity, and the best opportunity, Yu Qing thinks, is waiting for Pu Shi to attack.
Because no matter how steady and steady the skill is, there will always be some loopholes in the swordsmanship when the sword is drawn.
Although his speed is not faster than Guan Xing, it is definitely not much slower, at least, he can catch this loophole.
And for Yu Qing, as long as there is a loophole, then he wins.
So, on the test bench, Yu Qing faced Pu Shi like this and stood with a sword.
Pu Shi also used a sword, and after seeing Yu Qing's posture, he seemed to be very puzzled, not knowing what his opponent meant. So Pu Shijin is not, nor is he retreating, which seems a little embarrassing.
In fact, both of them are in an awkward position. After waiting for more than ten breaths, the discussion began to begin.
Xu Jianyu looked at the two people on the stage, and asked puzzledly: "Senior Brother Lin, what is Yu Qing doing? That Pu Shi doesn't look very good!"
"Senior sister, take a closer look at Na Pu Shi. Lin Yuan next to him also looked at the two people on the stage and said.
"Hmm...... Although he is much stronger than me, he is probably still half a cut behind Yu Qing! Could it be that he can't hide it to such an extent that even Yu Qing doesn't dare to be hostile?"
"No, although Pu Shi's strength is not as good as Senior Brother Yu, his skills in all aspects are very qualified. Lin Yuan explained, "This is nothing for you and me, but for Senior Brother Yu, as long as Pu Shi blocks Senior Brother Yu's sword, then next, Senior Brother Yu's situation may be very bad!"
"Ah, what should I do then?" Xu Jianyu obviously understood, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"So Senior Brother Yu is waiting for Pu Shi to come out of the sword, as long as the sword is released, Pu Shi will show a loophole in the swordsmanship, and for Senior Brother Yu, this loophole is enough. ”
Listening to the louder and louder discussions around him, Lin Yuan sighed again: "It is worthy of being the first person of the younger generation of my Guanyu Pavilion, not only is his strength outstanding, but even his state of mind is so firm. ”
"yes. Xu Jianyu echoed.
